i mean, this is where this strange intersection with lance armstrong. if there's one thing we learned, the sooner we come out with the real truth and the sooner manti te'o, whatever the truth is, comes out with the whole truth, the less worse -- i'm not going to say better -- the less worse it is for him, and i think that's the key. don't we learn anything from what we watch? the second thing is honestly as a journalist, it's on us. we did a terrible job here. >> "sports illustrated." >> incredible outlets did not vet the story, and we look terrible. >> so tom, let me ask you. the heavy implication of the story is that manti te'o was involved in this, and it was at least in part a creation of his own. but the proof is that a friend of this guy, tuiasosopo who we believe was behind it said, quote, he was 80% sure that te'o is in on it. is deadspin ready to say that manti te'o was in on this and created this and that he was not a victim of a hoax? >> that was in the context of talking to friends and family and just getting their -- you know, as honest a t
